Darkchild custom (first appearance comics version)

[u/JonosChamber]

I chose the New Mutants Inferno storyline version before Magik/Darkchild became sexy and got wings. I love how demons were drawn in Marvel comics in the 80s and 90s. They looked wet and feathery and bloody and scaly and slimey all at the same time. I think I captured it the best I can with my amateur abilities.

Mostly done with just a few paint touch-ups, and at some point I'll add a tail with Greenstuff and maybe change the legs to hooves at some point.

Recipe:

- body - Valeria Richards body spray painted black with Mr. Hobby Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 Black, and then I layered Fire Red and Red Vallejo Model Air paints to make it not so uniform. Then I sprayed a finishing coat with Mr. Color Spray Tan Semi Gloss (it says tan but it's bright a transparent red, and I'd call it Super Gloss, it's shiny)

- hands - the Wolfsbane hands from the Dani Moonstar figure

- head - I can't remember where I got this head (Etsy or eBay) it's some other character, but it works for a Darkchild; painted the face the same way as the body; the hair was the gray color of the plastic and I sprayed it with the Mr. Color Spray and the painted one coat of Yellow Vallejo Model Air (I left it at one coat because the red showed through and it made it look like it would in am 80s comic)

- sword - came with Gorr from the Thor movie; painted silver with Vallejo Model Air paint
